Answer: y = 0.03x + 94

--------------------------------------

Explanation:

Lets define A(x) to be the average cost function where 
A(x) = C(x)/x
basically you divide the given cost function C(x) by the number of units produced (x)

Dividing C(x) over x leads to:
A(x) = C(x)/x
A(x) = (14000+94x+0.03x^2)/x ... substitution
A(x) = (0.03x^2+94x+14000)/x ... rearrange terms
A(x) = (0.03x^2)/x+(94x)/x+(14000)/x ... break up the fraction
A(x) = 0.03x + 94 + (14000/x) ... simplify

If x were to head off to infinity, then the portion 14000/x approaches 0. 

So this is why the oblique asymptote is y = 0.03x + 94

Basically, in the long run, the average cost will approach y = 0.03x + 94

Michelle has read 0.05625 percent of a book. If she has read 18 pages, how many total pages are in the book?
faust18 [17]
You read 2/5 of the remainder on Sunday. That means 3/5 of the remainder are unread (1- 2/5). It is given that 36 pages are unread. Therefore 3/5 of the remainder is equal to 36. Set up equation and solve for x which will be the remainder

3/5x=36
x=36(5/3)
x=60
